The stylish Cartier Tonneau dual time zone replica watch

I am impressed with replica Cartier watches that have always had their own characteristics. Whether it is Santos, Blue Balloon or Pasha, they have left the deepest impression on everyone with the simplest lines, and they are also enduring. But what I want to introduce today is not these series, but a watch from the Tonneau series. Although the Tonneau series is not as well-known as the aforementioned models, the origin of this watch is also very long. Tonneau is a series launched by Cartier in 1906 after the Santos watch in 1904.

This series once again breaks through the traditional aesthetics of round replica watches. The name “Tonneau” (barrel shape) is unique, and this watch can be described as a model of inheritance of a series of modern watches. This hollow dual time zone watch, Cartier pays tribute to the Tonneau XL dual time zone watch in the CPCP series, which is the first to adopt the design of two independent mechanisms. In order to stay true to the original shape, Cartier needed to achieve two technological innovations. First of all, in order to maintain the slender shape of the watch case, all the gears of the gear train need to be linearly listed between 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. Then, the shape of the movement must be modified to fit the curved contour of the barrel-shaped case.
The bezel of this Tonneau watch is made of a single piece of material, without redundancy and discontinuity. The bends, lugs and the case are completely natural. The dial is between a rectangle and an oval, and the case is slightly curved. This design makes the watch fit the wrist better. The “ordnance screws” that decorate the lugs were put into use around 1910, and this Tonneau watch still retains this detail.
Different from previous dual time zone watches, which usually have a dial with dual hands, this watch directly divides the time between the two places into two parts. The upper part is the home time, and the lower part is the time in the second time zone. The time information on the hollow bridge is clear and easy to read. The winding crown is at 2 o’clock and the crown at 4 o’clock is used to adjust the time in the second time zone. At the same time, Cartier also hollowed out the movement, and the crown of the watch was decorated with two blue cabochons to make the watch look more refined.
This watch is equipped with Cartier 9919MC self-made manual winding movement, with dual time zone function and 60-hour power reserve. This movement arranges the gear train vertically to adapt to the special case shape, and the overall structure of the movement can be observed through the transparent case back.
